[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2138625, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 146 “THE FINAL GAMES PT V” “What is happening?” snarls the mul. “I don’t know but it is NOT part of the game. I can promise you that.” “How do you hope to climb the wall? It is thirty feet up and slanted inward and is glass-like smooth. We can not climb it.” “My first law of survival- don’t give up. I almost did. And it nearly cost me my life before this stupid event occurred. We’ll find a way.” Cosa bolts upright. “I can feel it! It hungers for me!” Sirus turns to her. “Witch! You were faking!” and he goes to grab her. She grabs his ceramic cup and breaks it creating a sharp edge. She slashes his cheek while trying for his neck. In a spurt of blood he turns away and falls to the floor of the seating area. “Mania!” she shouts. Allina id horror stricken. It is as the old diviner saw. A monster that feeds on magic. It will tear the city apart. Several secret Alliance members gather. “This is not what the elf promised. This is dangerous and will destroy the city and her people.” The king’s throne is empty. “Beware- it grows and I know what its touch will do to us.” “I damn well aware of that. However, do you see what I see?” The mul stops and looks across the arena. “What do you see?” The mul sees nothing. “The creature seems to be growing towards the templar area. As if attracted there.” “True but why is this important?” “Just a sixth sense thing. Let’s go.” And Mania changes direction to run to the area where Balic’s national defilers sit. “It is difficult.” Says the mul as the blob is uprooting the entire arena. Columns rise and tremble. “It is tearing the arena apart.” “I know. Isn’t it awesome.” Says Mania with a smile. A plan is forming within his mind. It is desperate but there is no other way. The heavy doors that allowed them into the city are still closed. They can only be opened from the inside. They will not open the doors for a human and mul gladiator. It is up to them to survive. “There!” “There what?” “That big column. It is on the brink of collapsing.” “And as such we need to avoid it.” “No- I have something else in mind.” The defilers of Balic, the defenders of Balic, begin to attack the blob. Each attack makes it healthier and larger. One defiler realizes this and tries to stop his allies but they will not listen. They are caught up in the abuse and flow of arcane energies. Cosa sees Mania running to the wall. What he has in mind she doesn’t know but she plans to be there when he does it. Most of the people are in a panic. People are being crushed as nobles, peasants, merchants, guards and commoners alike run to flee the creature. [/QUOTE]
